Any help is appreciated, and I will share research. Julian

Dear List, On the 1860 census of Brush Creek District, Washington County, TN, I find the David Patton Campbell family. Living with the family is Thomas Taylor, age 13, born in North Carolina. I'm trying to find if Thomas Taylor was related and who his parents were? If anyone knows anything about these people, please respond. Thank you! Mary Campbell Ballard

I am new to the list and wanted to put my surname on the mailings so as to see if someone had any information regarding my family lines. John Algood/Allgood and his wife moved to Washington County some time after 1812, as he was found on the Sullivan County, TN tax list that year. He was found in the 1830 census with one male and one female (we believe it to possibly be his youngest daughter and her family, but nothing proof positive yet). In 1834 he is found in Breckinridge County, Kentucky. Would anyone have any access to records from 1812-1834 for Washington County regarding a John Algood/Allgood from Mecklenburg County, Virginia... his wife Jinsey Blake (we believe she died in the Washington County area).... or any of their children. Their children are Manley Allgood (bd. abt. 1800, possibly Virginia) who married Prissillia ?? (md. ??); Mary Jane "Jinsey" who married Michael Grindstaff (have information on this line), Elizabeth who married Curtis Childers (have information on this line); Lucinda "Lucy" who married Reuben Blake; John Jr. who married Nancy Elizabeth Powers. We know Mary Jane "Jinsey" married Michael Grindstaff in Carter Co. and remained there with him. Elizabeth married Curtis Childers possibly in Carter Co., and stayed there with him until her death (which is believed to be abt. 1858). Lucinda married Reuben Blake in Hawkins Co. and moved to Harrison Co., Indiana. Manley and Prissillia ?? married somewhere in Tennessee (due to two of the kids' listings of birthplace on the census'), and they were the first to have left Washington County and moved to Kentucky before the 1830 census. John Jr. married Nancy Elizabeth Powers in Kentucky. Any help on these lines would be greatly appreciated, as they are a 23+ year stumbling block. Thanking you in advance... Dana Brown Louisville, Kentucky

Dana, The only Algood/Allgood I see in the Washington County tax lists between 1778-1850 is in 1824. Manley ALLGOOD was listed in Kitsmiller's company.

DOD will preserve veterans' personnel filesDOD will preserve veterans' personnel files By Lisa Burgess, Stars and Stripes Pacific edition, Wednesday, July 14, 2004 ARLINGTON, Va. - U.S. government officials have decided to preserve the personnel files of every military member since 1885, and to allow public access to such records 62 years after official discharge or separation. An agreement designating these files as "permanent records" was signed Thursday by Archivist of the United States John Carlin and David Chu, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness. The National Archives and Records Administration will maintain the records "forever," according to Greg Pomicter, assistant for operations in the NARA's Office of Regional Records Services. Protecting personnel files is crucial because they contain the legal documents veterans and their families need in order to claim entitlements that may have accrued from military service, Pomicter said in a Monday telephone interview from NARA's Suitland, Md., headquarters. Before the agreement was signed, the U.S. government would release only basic information, such as the dates of service. Only the member himself, if alive, or next-of-kin, if the member was dead, had access to the entire file, Pomicter said. Under the new policy, the public will have access to records 62 years after a servicemember's official discharge or separation - "a wealth of information" that will appeal to a variety of individuals, Pomicter said. After a six-month survey of records requests, archivists found that the nature of requests moved from administrative to historical between 56 years and 62 years after the servicemember's separation, and went with the higher number to be safe. People searching for genealogical data will find that the records "give you a tremendous amount of family history," Pomicter said. Personnel files contain medical information, performance reports and disciplinary actions, as well as birth, marriage and death records, and adoption records and visas for family history purposes. Academics and other researchers, meanwhile, will be able to use the records to reconstruct all sorts of information, such as the demographic composition of a specific military unit and how it has changed over time, Pomicter said. But if a servicemember is still alive after 62 years, the Privacy Act of 1974 allows NAR officials to "redact," or black out, certain information, such as Social Security numbers, Pomicter said. "If we have any indication that person is alive, we'll be very careful what's released ... to ensure that there's no unwarranted invasion of a person's privacy," Pomicter said. It will take at least a decade for government archivists to transfer all 56 million eligible records to the public domain, however. That's because before 1960, DOD did not necessarily file its personnel records by date of discharge, requiring archivists to sort through the jackets one-by-one to discern whether they meet the 62-year age requirement, Pomicter said. The first major block of files - nearly 1 million personnel records for sailors and Marines that date back to World War I - will be released this fall, Pomicter said. To learn how to search records maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration including records that have been archived electronically, go to: www.archives.gov.

I recently visited Salem cemetery looking for the grave marker of Alexander McEwen(1750-1795), who is my g,g,g,g grandfather. I could not find the marker ,even though I had info from previous copies of the cemetery. His marker is noted in the Washington College broshure as being the oldest inscribed marker in the cemetery. I'm planning another trip to the cemetery again in September (to search) and would appreciate any info on the location of the marker. IAlso, if the marker is gone, could I arrange to have an appropriate memorial marker put back in its place. Thank you, Ben R. McEwen, Jr.
